Poetry is hard stuff. It's dense, it's complicated and it uses words and images and structures that are not "normal". But some of the very things that make poetry hard are what make it so wonderful. Understanding a poem can--literally--change a person forever. A good poem may make you sad or happy or afraid. A great poem might change the way you think, how you feel about your surroundings or completely shift your understanding of the world and how it works.
Poetry can be powerful stuff.
Unfortunately, reading and understanding poetry is not the kind of skill that most people just have. Like most valuable or useful things, reading and understanding poetry takes time, effort and practice. But just because it's hard work, doesn't mean you have to do it alone or that it can't include some fun.
And that's where the Sing-a-Long comes in.
